Abstract
|
|
|
Tourniquets are often used for surgery on the extremities to provide a bloodless surgical field. However, tourniquets may cause nerve and other tissue injuries. While the tourniquet is inflated, metabolic changes occur in the ischemic limb,
changes
that
include increased PaCO2 lactic acid and pottasium, and decreased levels of PaO2 and pH.
Deflation of the tourniquet results in the release of these products of ischemia into the general circulation. The resultant decreases in arterial pH and PaO2 and increased in arterial lactic acid, potassium, PaCO2 and PETCO2 are associate with
significant decrease in mean arterial and central venous pressure and increase in heart rate.
Since PaCO2 is one of the important factor to control the cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure, a sudden increase in PaCO2 immediately after tourniquet deflation may cause detrimental effects in head injured patients with elevated
intracranial
pressure.
The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of the degree of hyperventilation by means of increased minute ventilation by 25%, 50% and 75% respectively. after deflation of tourniquets to keep PETCO2 at former levels, for twenty minutes
period,
with arterial blood gas analysis, endtidal PaCO2 and vital signs was monitored serially.
We compared normal minute ventilation group I with increased minute ventilation groups(II, III and IV) before and after deflation of tourniquet.
In summary, we calculated from our data that increasing minute ventilation by more than 50% for 5 minutes following tourniquet deflation could prevent PETCO2 from increasing more than 1.5-6.5 mmHg in all patients.
